Seventh Circuit Oral Arguments On Parsonage A Shipwreck For Freedom From Religion Foundation?
Ms. Hagley went on to state that it was an “issue of first impression” as to whether any atheist could qualify under 107. I became very sad at this point, because it is clear that they have not been reading my posts. Many Unitarian Universalist ministers, some serving parishes founded in the seventeenth century, are atheists and the UUA is on at least one of the amicus briefs supporting the exclusion, much to my chagrin.
As they discussed the standing issue, I got the impression that Ms. Hagley and the judges think that the IRS is a lot more on the ball than it actually is. Ms. Hagley indicated was that all the FFRF officers had to do was file an administrative claim in which they indicated that they knew they didn’t qualify for the exclusion which constituted unequal treatment.
Did Florida County Tax Man For Being Happily Married?
Appellant never asserted that he and his wife were “estranged” or living separate lives 24/365. If he had done so, it would have placed the Property Appraiser and her staff in the position of determining whether the couple’s marriage was no longer intact—“your honor, Exhibit 33 is a photo of the Defendant and his wife holding hands.” On the flip side, an argument could be made that a couple with a very intact relationship who split their time between two residences may be able to claim two homestead exemptions so long as they are not legally married. One commenter has referred to this as the “’unwed’ loophole.” Although we need not meander down that thorny path in the instant case, the ambiguity and perhaps unforeseen consequences associated with the definition of the term “family unit” may merit legislative scrutiny in the near future.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
